    Spot on Everything went smooth. The Hotel is located in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in San Francisco. Our hosts were very helpful and the apartment is clean, designed with good taste and the latest technology. It was a pleasure staying at The Hotel Castro. Highly recommended.

    Hotel Castro is our favorite! We've stayed in many different properties and neighborhoods in SF over the years with differing experiences. Our three night stay at Hotel Castro is our favorite! Our room was clean, well maintained, fully stocked and oozed style. So much fun! We appreciated the Nespresso machine and the water kettle in the room. The grocery store right across the street was great for snacks. We would sit on the patio in the mornings and watch the quaint, vibrant neighborhood wake up. Many great restaurants all around this neighborhood as well. And our room was quiet even though it was a busy holiday weekend. The Castro neighborhood is great for getting around SF via public transportation (convenient bus lines, historic streetcar, and metro station within a block). We attended a concert at the beautifully restored Castro Theater on one night of our stay. It was great to just walk a block back to the hotel afterwards. We can't wait to come back!
